THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Tuesday, October 26, 1965
FROM THE
ine5
By Larry R. Jerden
Contrary to rumors some may
have heard, the Aggies will play
out the rest of their schedule!
The A&M gridders, like their
TU counterparts, are in a two-
game losing streak. When the
Aggies do something, they do it
well, and Saturday’s loss was
the best they’ve done at playing
fold-up since the Florida fiacso
of 1962 when they went down
42-6. It was their worst SWC
defeat since TCU ran away with
a 39-6 win in 1959.
But all was not lost for the
followers of the Maroon and
White! Phil Scoggin continued
his fine punting, averaging 46.3
for 11 punts, including four in
a row over 50 yards. And the
Aggie Band has yet to lose a
halftime.
The season must go on and the
Aggies are now preparing to tour
the “Land of Opportunity,” the
state ruled by Orville E. Faubus,
Frank Broyles and King Football.
Things looked good for a while:
there was a rumor that Harry
Jones, the Hogs top ground gain
er, wouldn’t be able to start again
st the Cadets. Probably fear.
Latest word is he will play. Oh
well, you can’t have everything!
Some team’s replacements are al
most as good as their first string
ers, anyway.
football, A&M has fielded some
good teams. The 1939-40 crews
were two of the best, and they
set the record for the longest win
ning streak in the conference. It
stands to this day. After 25
years. A quarter of a century.
No one has ever won more than
19 games in a row in our con
ference. Arkansas won num
ber 18 Saturday night . . . and
guess who will have to defend
A&M’s record!
Well, there's the challenge,
folks. Make Something Happen.
Going into Saturday’s game the
Aggies boasted the top pass de
fense in the SWC. That went out
with the Baylor Bombers pro-type
attack, but for those still inter
ested in statistics Harry Led
better is still number two in pass
ing, and Dude McLean is third
in receiving.
For the faithful the Texas
A&M Club of Arkansas will have
a hospitality suite in the Hotel
Lafayette at Sixth and Louisiana
in Little Rock. It’ll be open Fri
day evening after 6 and Satur
day from 9-5. Little Rock is a
great town, take it from this
ex-Porker fan, and the Arkan
sas people are friendly as can
be . . . especailly to their victims.
The Aggies have a way of play
ing well against good teams, so
maybe that was the trouble Sat
urday. If this be the case, the
Farmers should look great Sat
urday night. The Aggies beat the
Sips when they were number one,
even with what’s his-name- coach
ing, and besides, there is more
at stake than just a ball game
Saturday. There is one of the
few Aggie records still in the
books!
The unfortunate incident in
Kyle Field Saturday was the
swan song for John West, Sports
Editor of the Bryan Daily Eagle.
He’s been with the Bird for five
years and is now moving to A&M
University Information.
In the long history of SWC
Leave it to John to find some
winning Aggies. His first re
lease at his new job tells of Billy
Martindale, ’61, and Bobby Nic
hols, ’59, coming in second and

Golf Tournament. Martindale
picked up $12,000 and Nichols
took home $7,500.

honors the football players Tues

For the past 15 years, Gay,
who is the campus YMCA general
secretary, has developed a
“knack” for frying steaks. Aver
aging approximately seventy-
eight steak fries a year, the volun
teer “chef” says he feeds more
than 5,000 Aggies and their guests
during this period. He has cook
ed for as many as 400 persons
at one time. Gay adds that he
sometimes cooks at 28 steak fries
in 20 days.
Even the weather doesn’t great
ly affect the steak fries. Tie re
calls often frying a steak with
one hand and holding an umbrel
la with the other trying to keep
the rain from ruining the meat
and fire. Gay says that because
the cookout area at Hensel Park
is sandy, he can begin cooking
the steaks 30 minutes after it
has rained. It seems, though,
that the weather is the least
of his worries. Once, he recalls,
after he had built the fires in
the ovens, he returned to find
some children had put the fires
out.

| Baylor Downs Aggie

Battalion Sports Editor
Something didn’t happen.
The Aggies’ passes didn’t hit,
their tackles were only made after
five yard gains, pass protection
was nonexistant, and 99 yards
total offense just isn’t enough
to win a ball game. Especially
when the opposition rolls up 476
yards, including 286 in the air
by a third-string quarterback.
AGGIE SURROUNDED BY BE ARS
Halfback Jim Stabler heads for an unwelcomed reception
as three Baylor Bears prepare to greet him after a short
gain. Action took place during Baylor’s 31-0 rout of the
Aggies Saturday.
The deepest penetration the
Aggies could muster was in the
fourth quarter when they charged
to the Baylor 19. The offensive
weapon used in this drive was
the habitual use of the red flag
by officials that moved the Cadets
45 yards in five “plays.” What
looked like an Aggie threat was
squelched by the second most
unbelievable play of the day.
field a while before fumbling,
the Aggies recovered, and then
the ball went out of bounds, or
something like that. Anyway, it
was all topped off with a 15-
yarder walked off in the direc
tion of the Aggie goal, and that
was it for the day.
About the only play in Baylor’s
game of catch that created any
thing like excitement came in the
closing minutes of the second
quarter.

heaver, handed off to Richard De

Consolidated Blasted 61-27
By Hot Brenham Cubs
By BOB JONES
Consolidated’s improved passing
A&M Consolidated’s Tigers
look for their first District 10-
AAA win this Friday when they
host the Cypress-Fairbanks Bob
cats as 7:30 p.m. on Tiger Field.
Consolidated will spend this
week regrouping its forces from
the 61-27 walloping they received
Friday from Brenham. Head
Coach Edsel Jones and his troops
never started moving in the Bren
ham homecoming contest.
Playing before a crowd of 3,-
000, Brenham chalked up 46 points
in the first half while the Tigers
mustered only seven points. Bren
ham edged the score to 54-7 in
the third quarter. The Tigers
made a bid for the win in the
fourth period hut found themselv
es short of the necessary time.
Fred Davis made his quarter-
backing debut in the contest. The
stocky junior commanded the
Maroon and White from the tail-
hack position as the Tigers tried
to gain the lead employing a
spread-passing shotgun offense.
Davis hit half of his passes, con
necting on 14 of 28 attempts.
Cypress-Fairbanks will be
meeting the Bengals on near
equal terms Friday. Both teams
lost their first two district games.
The Bobcats fell to Conroe and
Huntsville and the Tigers drop
ped league games to Houston
Furr and Brenham.
Although Cypress holds the up
per hand on experienced players
with 15 returning lettermen from
last season’s district title-holder.
Chess Tournament
Planned By MSC
The MSC Chess Committee will
hold its annual A&M Chess
Championship Friday at 7:30 in
rooms 2B and 2C of the Memorial
Student Center.
The tournament will follow the
Swiss system consisting of three
rounds, each with a time limit of
30 moves in 30 minutes.
David Willis will be the direc
tor of this years tourney.
The tournament is open to all
students of A&M and there will |

game poses a definite threat for
the Bobcats.
Men are scattered all over the
field in the new Bengal offense
with Davis taking the center at
tailback. The score of the Bren
ham contest failed to indicate the
power of the new Tiger attack.
The versatile Tigers now shift
from their T-formation to the
shotgun offense with the change
of quarterbacks. Jimbo Robison,
regular QB for Consolidated, di
rects the Tiger running game
from the T and Davis takes
charge during the switch to the
shotgun.
After viewing the change I
predict a 20-15 Tiger victory over
Cy-Fair.
